Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Anthony Johnson responded today to DC’s accusations that he is f***ing soft after word got out that Johnson met with UFC executives to discuss a heavyweight comeback fight. The gist of Cormier’s complaint was that if Rumble wanted people to believe his retirement story, he should have stayed gone longer; coming back six months later meant that he must have just been mad about losing to DC.

Johnson said that is not the case, and claims Cormier is only salty because he talks to Jon Jones. From his Facebook page:

Damn D.C. didn’t know you were salty cuz I talk to the 1 guy that knocked you out. Fucking soft is what you called me, oh well that’s your opinion.Saying I gave Jon advice lol buddy what advice is there to give him? I wasn’t fighting either one of you, so there’s no point of giving advice. That’s not my style! I believe in fair fights period.Friend’s? We were NEVER friend’s! I’ve respected every man in the sport no matter what. I’ve shown JBJ respect through his tough times and have shown you respect the same way.I retired cuz I have other thing’s in life I want to do but just cuz I met with UFC and talked you have an issue.So take your cry baby ass on and praise God that Jon screwed up and you got the belt back that way!

Justin Gaethje gets it

@Justin_Gaethje has some interesting views on jiu-jitsu as he preps Gillian Robertson for her fight. Is he right? https://t.co/AWxzvXDHep

The easiest way to gain social media approval when a lot of people don’t like you? Post puppies. Can’t nobody be mad at puppies.
